FortyDust

You just need to decide whether this bothers you enough -- or whether you care enough about ranking in a game mode with no other rewards -- to quit playing until Blizzard fixes it.

If enough players stop playing …

The level 50 portrait? Really? I consider myself pretty casual, and I got that a while ago. If you don't play enough to finish all your quests, I guess you may feel intimidated by every opponent, all the time.

…

"Looks like you've already spent a lot of money on Hearthstone recently. Can we interest you in this big pile of dust?"

As with so much of Hearthstone, the root of the problem is Blizzard's initial decision to pretend the game is free to play. Yes, the word "free" will get you all kinds of attention, but all of that turns sour …

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, Ayala! We've told you over and over that the way to make the game friendlier to new players is to change the goddamned business model!

All of this hand-wringing over which mode would …

No interest in this at all, and I'd rather see the team spend its time on something else.

Skill-based matchmaking makes ZERO sense for Arena. He's right that such a change would greatly annoy existing Arena players.

It's OK to have a mode that doesn't pamper new players. If they absolutely must do it, I would hope …

Some of these Hero Powers are WAY better than others.

Are the bad ones intentional traps, or are they trying to bring things into balance after the previous lopsided Duels meta?

So basically the only reason it's a Battlecry instead of just printing it as a 4/6 vanilla is to make it suck if it's summoned rather than played.

Mixed messages, printing this and [card]Deathwarden[/card] in the same set.

[card]Explosive Trap[/card] thinks this is cute.

This is enough to bring Freeze Mage back for sure. And yes, it absolutely is worth playing with [card]Ray of Frost[/card], or any other Freeze card you care to name, because it's a 1/3 body in addition to the damage, …

Note that it costs (5) or more, so it's even better than it looks, which is already very, very good!

I knew there was going to be some Libram hate in the set!

This may be more impactful than other tech cards have been. There aren't a lot of decks that run zero Deathrattle.

We are going to be seeing a lot of this card.

Seriously, could have been blank. DH always attacks.

Actually crazy. DH is going to need another nerf after this.

Sorry, OutOfCards, but I really don't care for this new format with the commentary between cards.

I'm sure you love that it lets you push more ads, but I find it very annoying. I won't be seeing any ads …

Spending a card to bank mana doesn't feel good, plus it's dead against aggro. It doesn't even let you add temporary mana, so it's not like you can cheat out something big the next turn.

Would be better if …

I love this card so much. Can't stop laughing, and I haven't even used it yet.

I hope to Yogg it shows you the card you ruined when the other player draws it.
